Pineapple jack-o'-lanterns are here to sweeten up your Halloween

Your favourite orange carving veg has a fruity new foe—and the internet approves.

There's a new carved out piece of rotting produce in town lighting up your Halloween festivities this year, and online critics are unanimous—the pineapple jack-o'-lantern is infinitely cooler than its pumpkin predecessor.

While North Americans have already bid farewell to summer, Aussies are in the perfect, beachy climate to embrace the new tropical-leaning Hallow's Eve tradition.
